So you're even worse than the notorious efulefu Thiefinubu Yoruba asslicking idiot called Joe Igbokwe. You should be ashamed of yourself, that is if you're not genuinely ignorant.

what is this one saying?

you think I give a fvck about Tinubu or Athieku

all these criminals I despise?

Remimadrid:
I doubt Reno would have supported this when PDP
was still in power.

whether that is true or not is immaterial

Buhari is destroying our country beyond repair

he has to sit up and do something

before there will be no country to lead in 2023

ednut1:
how about those boys sitting in their papa house doing nothing but smoke and collect omonile money. Do such jobs. ehn

those ones have no future usefulness for themselves

awon olorisoonu


I'm talking of regular guys actively searching for work related to their skills but are yet to get

those ones can be justified

tellwisdom:
So what’s the hell of a big deal if he works?

What’s the difference between dish washing and sweeping? At least he getting money in return

this is a shocking comment

ednut1:
We claim there are no jobs. Togo boys just dey cash in as mason

so every Nigerian should become a mason?
.or what is your point?

Londonboyrep:
What a backward country arresting friends and family of a suspect. In advanced countries, the police will not even discuss the case except with the accused or legal representative. Everyone, not their family not their friends, is responsible for their own actions.

it's a shame really

cathodekazim:
I've come to terms that 90%of big brother addicts are either unserious entrepreneurs or jobless youth. I can't imagine a busy lagosian where time is very precious will sit down for 30 min and watch this highly immoral show. Not me. Spit

even the bankers are watching

They get snippets from Twitter
And watch/stream when they get home

Nothing wrong with that

maturity entails respecting people's choices

Martinez39:
Lol. BBN is not a grassroot programme. Their contestants are not unknown average Nigerians but people won't listen. If BBN calls for an audition now, fools will still go.

BBNaija was never designed for poverty alleviation

that's just ir

martineverest:
smh....do u even know how much sportify pay artiste?? artiste don't earn much from streaming

sportfy is JUST ONE streaming outfit

we have YouTube
we have others

accumulate the money

the more views
the more money you make...

martineverest:
dobu even know how much Davido paid for brown to feature in his song?

do you know how much he will make back?

all these streaming platforms will not serious money for him..


Many will stumble on it on say sportify for example

and decide to check it out because of a Chris Brown on it.

its the same trick Diamond Platinum did with Nigerian artistes

did that hot song with P Square

and other Nigerians

and boom

he is out there

he has even moved up and collaborate with American artistes....


now judge

will it be right for his people in Tanzania to say that he is suffering from inferiority complex chilling with, and doing songs with Nigerian and American artistes?

martineverest:
that's because u don't think deep

there is nothing wrong witt having collaborations with American artistes

Jamaicans do it ALL THE TIME

What does inferiority have to do with that

It's the typical shithole MENTALITY folks like you possess that would even make you think towards inferiority complex
that punk ass Nigerian way of thinking


America has a bigger industry than Nigeria
that's fact

Chris Brown and many artistes have a bigger brand name and following than any contemporary Nigerian artiste on the world stage
another fact

Having foreign artistes onyour songs from time to time is nothing but business

You get more views having a Chris Brown or a drakefeatured on your songs than any Nigerian artiste

more views = more money


if you are not looking at the business side to why these boys are all going out there


then you are not serious

see this one talking inferiority complex when there is serious money to be made

martineverest:
that's because u don't think deep

You are the one not thinking deep here

martineverest:
childish... inferiority complex of African musicians is beyond me

what does this have to do wity inferiority complex now?

SamuelAnyawu:
Maimalari si not a town but the name of the Military barracks.


I repeat the Government is hiding the casualty figures on its service men.

May God continue to bless all our gallant soldiers

Litmus:
WEST! They have started again. Always pressing Restive causing buttons. Since Africans take their words as though from God, they do have us by the blokos all the time. They don't always have to destroy any African nation that take thire fancy by hard means such as secretly funding a coup or supporting insurrectionists, they have so many leverage, from economic ones, to being in control of our youths through the selling of Western lifestyles, to media, to telling us what we want to hear especially if what we want to hear agravates existing tensions. Mischief makers want to hear that Bokoharam is kicking Nigeria military ass and that military is hiding one thing or another in order to hide the fact and in short time the West is there to support those claims. It's like Nigeria's missing stolen Billions. Where are our stolen Billions if not thrillions?? They in the West knew full well that embezzling past leaders like Abatcha never actually stole the sums that Nigerians, in our typical ways of exaggerating for effect, claim they stole, but they supported anyway, even adding salt and pepper of thire own. But now the chicken has come home to roost and they are being asked by Nigeria to return our Billions. Where is all the money!? They can't cough up because no such huge some were stashed abroad in the first place.

what is this one saying now

is it news that we have a useless gov't in Aso rock?

"selling of western lifestyle"

wwhat does that even have to do with anything?

Africans are self destructive

foreign powers only act as catalysts

whenever the opportunity presents itself

badboywizzy:
Almost all the oil producing African countries are suffering from one crisis or the other. Someone somewhere must be benefiting from these crisis.

more like Africans destroying themselves

foreign powers only act as catalysts...

Boko Haram is a self inflicted wound

If successive govts had invested inits people up north, and improved standards of living, religious fundamentalism and a large army of willing hands to die in the name of "Allah" would not have crept in....

Go to Chad, Niger and northern Nigeria and see hopelessness and an army of economically useless people littering the streets
those are the willing hands to fight

but yet the govts are not ready to do anything to address it

Chukapage:
for the fact you are comparing Ifeanyi Ubah to Tinubu shows how little you think of Tinubu the corrupt old money.see wetin tribalism do you..

And tho fact that he is comparing a criminal like Atiku to Tinubu is even more amusing

the level of embezzlement Atiku did

Tinubu can never see such money

Atiku remains one of Nigeria biggest cronies

It's not impossible

African elite class are a bunch of useless people

if my oga then was chasing actresses upandan then...

I'm sure politicians and corporate thieves would be using their stash of stolen wealth to entice young women too

Useless men

tuniski:
Quite unfortunate we found ourselves in this quagmire! Most troubling is the army of suffering youth who see this as only winning argument and bragging rights while the nation drift.
Almost unanimous the observers have given a damning verdict of the charade of 2019 general elections. Yet, some unfortunate goons get very insultive defending misery!

it's quite unfortunate

Charity begins at home, developer of the Universe. They have mortgaged their dividend of democracy for 2litres of kerosene.

what are these ones saying?

pimper24:
It is reaching an alarming crescendo as US Visa authorities deny visas to numerous Nigerian applicants.
The applicants who were subjected to thorough scrutiny and at times rigorous questions that one would tag irrelevant narrate their ordeals. The surprising thing is that most of these applicants are regular visitors amongst whom is a professor that had even visited severally on official assignment and with his two sons legally residing in the most powerful nation.
Some of the questions include where the applicant has resided and activities in the past 15 years and also documents to support such answers or claims. Previous international trips are also faced with such questions as why the applicant visited neighboring countries or cities different from the ones billed for in a visa; contacts made during such visits and stop-overs.
Questions also includes how long aircrafts spent on stop overs during transits in such journeys.
Answers to these questions are either regarded as insufficient or lacking in documentation. Many applicants were asked to apply again in the coming year.

it's the Trump effect
make no mistake about that....

It's clear what he is up to and what he stands for
And the embassy and consulates are reflecting that

It's high time Nigerians themselves desist from applying
there are dozens of other countries to go to
Let America be

AreaFada2:
Then have your kids early. If you can afford to. That is the secret of most. Just like Omotola who had her fiirst kid at 18 or 19. Her kids look like her younger siblings.

I don't know if it's by having kids early alone o

I know aunties who has kids from 17 and look like old cargoes today

There has to be other factors
like good diet and a good work out regimen
just saying

IronGalaxy:
yes. Judging from daily comments of white people, I have come to conclude that majority of Nigerians revere, worship , totally and totally kiss white people, it's for all to see really, I mean who still decry re-colonisation in this day an age if it's not Nigerians?

Quit reciting our history, we know it. Apartheid or not we still had a far better standard of living than y'all and we still do.

White people can come to Nigeria and torture and re-colonise you today because of your inferiority complex towards them, heck even the Libyans were selling you as slaves just last year, what can stop white people?

judging by the comments of how many?
Nigeria is a big country

And that comparisons you are making Makes no sense
will I then conclude that all south Africans are silly because you made a silly remark?

Libyans are selling sub Saharan migrants to Europe IN LIBYA
how does that compare to white folks treating black south Africans as inferior animal jokes of humanity, making them suffer so much that the trauma of that suffering is still being passed genetically to your descendants?

no basis whatsoever

I actually pity you guys

let us see the people who want to recolonise Nigerians again


onye asai di ka gi

I hate making comments like these but you guys

keep forcing my hand

Backfornow:
The level of disdain and inability to show compassion for each other that was displayed here is EXACTLY why the black race will NEVER be one. Akatawoman was wrong and I can say this as an AA, as well as some of you. Some of the things I've encountered and witnessed firsthand whilst being in Nigerian circles here in American, well..
Both sides are hurling mud, when there are no clear winners here.

And another thing, some of y'all need to know when you are being trolled.

lmao

you have said it all

there is no point hurling mud at each other

we all black folks
branches of the same tree

TheEminentLaity:
Canada is better in my opinion and since you speak English and French you'll be as Canadian as Celine Dion. The EE allows you almost full status and rights as a citizen and it is a much better country to live in, for raising or relocating your family. The Canadian EE gives you the equivalent of a US Green Card and unless you have a minimum of $500k to $1m (heard Trump's administration increased it to ) to invest in the US, you're only going to get a US visa at best which limits you legally. What you do illegally is between you and ICE until you change status.

All the best! but if you go yankee no follow Akata o

thanks a lot

I've been reading and making my research on EE sha

And I used to dream that I'll raise $500k for investment (EB5 )

But it is a tall order

I will most likely get EE in future

Canada kpali no go bad at all

TheEminentLaity:
Don't forget that the thread is about Nigerian migrants going to the US. Your experience is not that relevant to the theme. I have also met a number of decent ones in professional circles and trust they are many, we see them on TV as well, but the majority in the US which the illegal migrants from Nigeria may experience, are the issue here; and the truth is even those AAs avoid the Akatas (I differentiate them)

Besides, let's not pretend like profiling is extraneous concept shall we? We as Nigerians, until we start using our second passports, are subjected to extra vetting, checks and visa hurdles when travelling but even so Akata way still dey burst our medulla some of us never see that kind lifestyle before

And it is not about being better or worse than them but I take offence being grouped with them having lived in the US, even though I'm sort of a lone ranger type of dude that would rather deal with individuals. Na as you bundle us together wey bring talk, I was talking about US and Europe before you bring Akata matter inside. But still me and my people no be like them, our values are so different. You don't have to like it but it's true.

owww

I see


I will most likely be moving to Canada /U.S. in the next two years plus.....
the sort of business I do tho it's somewhat lucrative, is not what I'll do for the long term

may be ill try this express entry thing

my French and English is very very good
That should count....


And I see what you did there

differentiating between AA and Akata

if that is the case
then you have an argument

Besides, let's not pretend like profiling is extraneous concept shall we? We as Nigerians, until we start using our second passports, are subjected to extra vetting, checks and visa hurdles when travelling but even so Akata way still dey burst our medulla some of us never see that kind lifestyle before

about this....

to use this naija passport don tire me

my last trip to Istanbul was just

more reason why I have to move to Canada ASAP

two years

getting the passport there is not so difficult

kroger:
Boy!!!!!! I duff my hat for you sir you really nailed it. Its until you have seen it first hand then you can relate. Wetin musa never see for gate.

So.in other words, my own experiences with AA does not count right?

kroger:
you are very funny .. You are so very true at the Bolded.. AA dont have family at all, when it comes to money issue they dont have family. I have seen first hand an older mum staying with her daughter but she must pay part of rent and bills . God forbid my mum comes to stay with me and she will be paying part of the rent. I have seen a lady throw her mum out in the cold cos they have a misunderstanding . I always laugh when they talk about their uncle and aunty cos within me i know when the time comes reverse is the case.

I have said this before i was at Missouri some months ago and i drove to an all white county, i went to a nearby walmart and it was very decent, the next day i drove to a county dominated by black, i went to the walmart an lo and behold i saw policement all round, sagging thugs, weird people it was a mess. My question is cant these peeps just act like a normal human being?

lmao

But let us think about this for a second tho

You cannot discount their history and the effects it has had

this is not making excuses for them
this is just the fact

And it leads me back to the mental defeat i have been saying since

your Destiny is in your own hands despite what has happened or did not happen (be it jim crow or slavery)

your destiny is in your own hands
only if many of them can realise that

those who have amongst them have done better for themselves

I don talk plenty for this matter sef

AngelicBeing:
Lol, l met few, dated few during my studentship Abroad, my immediate Supervisor / Manager was an AA, I volunteered in his organization and himself and 2 other women recommended me for the job opening then, I got the job and worked directly with the AA guy, he was a fantastic and smart guy and we became like family members, but for the few AA women l dated was something else, my experience with them will be a story for another day

the ones I lived with in my vicinity were largely decent people as well...

The same way I am offended when say a Ghanaian lumps we all as Nigerians as loud, criminal violent and untrustworthy due to a few Nigerians they met is the same way it makes zero sense to assume AA as a monolith are useless people inferiur to black Africans (Nigerians)

it's a dumb and stupid way to reason

TheEminentLaity:
Leave that Ugosample, ignorant AF. Do the so called 'mentally defeated' Nigerians in Nigeria behave as african americans do towards foreigners, even towards other africans amongst them? The guy hasn't lived in the US is here joining that ässwipe of Akata that insults the whole of Africa and Nigerians saying Nigerians and African Americans are the same. I'm sure where you live your life has not been threatened by Ivoriens neither have you been discriminated against.

You are most likely to be robbed, shot, stabbed or and discriminated against in the US by an Akata than any other person, ten times over. And it'll be one low-life scrounger for that matter. Dude is just online yapping rubbish. Shame on you for discrediting hardworking Nigerians and Africans in diaspora and in Nigeria comparing them that group of people. You think watching music videos, sports and 24 is the real america. Let's hope you eventually find yourself in america if you want to migrate and experience first hand or maybe your children then you may find out that even CIV and Nigeria may be safer to live in than many places in america.

Just look at him supporting a culturally lost and condescending low-life that was obviously derailing the topic, as if the thread is about developing Nigeria. Nigerians talking about immigrant experiences and preferences and a frustrated Akata comes here to insult all of us and tell blatant lies about 'very succesful' black americans. Someone who hasn't even seen anywhere else in the world, no foreign experience whatsoever to speak of and some of you commend those ignorant bigoted comments even against your kinsmen.

Nigeria bad Nigeria bad but don't fück with the resolve and resilience of Nigerians. We are everywhere and are breaking barriers and trailblazing regardless. So keep your self-hating 'black people are the same' crap to yourself. I know where I'm from and who my ancestors are and we are NOT like Akata in anyway.

. I know where I'm from and who my ancestors are and we are NOT like Akata in anyway.

typical Nigerian

You think this makes you better than them?

it does not

You will never admit that this dumb shit we do goes two ways

African Americans thinking they are superior to Africans which they are not

And Africans like you (you have exposed yourself as oneof them) who think they are better than or superior to AA which obviously you are not


Let you and Akatawoman continue to gloat in emptiness on who is superior

probably that was how Diallo Amadou thought before he got the bullet from the racist police guys



CIV happens to be the place where my business is located
So I spend more time of the year there
I move from place to place and I have had my own encounters with AA and even where I used to live briefly in anothercountry, we lived in the same neighbourhood
(this country has a "right of return route for AAs this shoukd give you a clue)

From my own experience and exchanges with them, I have come to see things from a non biased perspective

A good AA from a good AA family is just as cool as a regular decent citizen

A ratchet one is a ratchet one and it's dangerous to associate with them

I even have AA cousins too..

So don't give me That crap of me having zero experiences with them

That is just my point

Nigerians generally are resilient people that is not in doubt
despite all we have gone through (especially as igbos) a good number of us rose above it

AA folks can learn that from us that's for sure


But let me flip the script
what we can also learn from them is the through the decades since 1920s
they were able to face theur oppressors and win their rights
on this count

Nigerians score F9
